animation into his case by the grand
jury, he was offered his liberty If he
would agree not to further prosecute
young Stewart Hon. W. @. Perry, the
u. S. district attorney, was written to
on the subject, and the following an
swer received from him several weeks
ago:
UNITED STATES ATT'NEY's OFFICE, \
DISTRICT OF KANSAS.
TOPEKA, kANS., Aug. 3, 1887.
&. ]. STEWART. ESQ, Elm Mills, Kan
sas: Dear sir-Your letter of the 18th
ult., addressed TO Mr.. Hagan, reached
this office in his absence. Noticed the
article published in a locol paper at
Medicine Lodge, and have seen other
articles touching on the same subject.
The statement that any promise of lib
erty was made to Castine, in Topeka,
or at any other place, If he would sign
an agreement not to further prosecute
young Stewart, is altogether untrue and
absurd. anyone who makes such q
statement lies, either knowingly or mis-
chievously. Yours, truly.
